Island TASMAN SEA PACIFIC OCEAN Figure I Location maps 5 SUMMARY This report briefly introduces the soils of Bruce County which has been mapped at a scale of 1: 100 OOO and covers approximately 132 300 ha. The soil map is a compilation prepared from published and unpublished soil surveys carried out by officers of N.Z. Soil Bureau over a number of years. The soils are classified according to the N.Z. genetic soil classification. Salient physical and chemical properties of each soil group are summarised in the text while important properties of individual soils are tabulated in the extended legend (Appendix). Finally, the individual soils are rated according to their limitations for pastoral, cropping and forestry uses, and also to their potential use and value for food production.

  • Surface Water Quality in South West Otago
    Surface Water Quality in South West Otago June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago ISBN 1-877265-15-2 June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago i Executive Summary Water quality monitoring in the Wairuna Stream, Waipahi River, Heriotburn and Crookstonburn began in 1996 as part of the state of environment monitoring programme. In response to concerns that water quality may be deteriorating, a more intensive six month surface water quality monitoring programme commenced on the Wairuna Stream in April 2000. Poor water quality results from this programme led to the Waipahi/Clydevale monitoring programme, which encompassed a larger catchment, this ran from October 2002 to October 2003. The third water quality monitoring programme began in May 2000 in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn catchments. Otago Regional Council has also been working with landowners and farmers in the area to minimise the potential impacts of high density farming in an area which is predominantly tile drained. Water quality monitoring focused on six sites in the Wairuna Stream, ten sites in the Waipahi/ Clydesvale and 14 sites in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn. Spot water sampling was conducted at all sites with water samples tested for a range of physico- chemical and microbiological parameters. Periphyton and macroinvertebrate sampling was also conducted. The monitoring results indicate that water quality in all three catchments is poor with a deterioration in water quality with distance downstream. For example there was a marked increase in Eschericia coli with distance downstream in all watercourses other than the Kaihiku and Waipahi. In addition, the Heriotburn and Wairuna catchments had extremely high median concentrations of indicator bacteria, all sites exceeding MfE/MoH action/red mode levels (550 E.coli/100ml).

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
